Thanks to Kim, I came across this gem: 30 before 30. Thirty things to do before one turns thirty. I have a bit less than three years to go, which is both “not a lot” and “plenty of time”.

It is quite challenging coming up with 30 different things to do, which is why I don’t have 30 things in this list yet. Given the time frame, I feel a good number needs to be fairly significant, but something that is conceivably attainable within three years, especially when looking at the whole list. I also wanted to put in experiences that I’ve never had before, that other people might say any thirty-year-old should have done. It needed to be fairly varied, and somewhat interesting.

Some things were easy to put in, such as experiences I wanted to have. Some things were scary, such as goals I wanted to achieve.

Some things I felt like I wanted to add, but relied too much on a couple things that didn’t seem to be even 75% reliable, such as participating in cosplay (I’d never do it without someone else doing it with me, and none of my friends are into it), or walking down the beach on a moonlit night and having a romantic dinner on the dunes (it wouldn’t be romantic unless it was with that special someone), etc. Maybe I’ll add them back someday.

About the author

Hello, I'm Angela. I cycle through a bunch of obsessions: web, reading, writing, gaming, and traveling.
I'm a directionally-challenged idealist at heart who is prone to fits of jadedness weaved in moments of rollercoaster laughter and giddy excitement. I'm quiet and wallflowerish in groups but I'm going to talk your ear off if you hit the right note.
I love meeting interesting people and have excellent conversation, so leave me a comment or find me on any of the places below:
